To tag all comics in a directory with MetronInfo.xml that don't already have one:
::

  metron-tagger -om --ignore-existing /path/to/comics

To remove any ComicInfo.xml from a directory of comics:
::

  metron-tagger -dc /path/to/comics

To validate any metadata, ComicInfo.xml and MetronInfo.xml, would be done by running the following:
::

  metron-tagger -cm --validate /path/to/comics

To write MetronInfo.xml metadata from comics with ComicInfo.xml data, and migrate data for comics that don't exist at the Metron Comic Database:
::

  metron-tagger -om --migrate /path/to/comics
